Electronics for sensors and medical technology

The ESA Institute offers experience in the following areas of expertise:

• Recording and evaluation of bioelectrical signals such as ECG and EEG. This includes the use of modern electrode technology with low-noise and robust preamplifiers.
• Design and development of ultrasound-based diagnostic and therapeutic devices/laboratory equipment for medical research or for testing new procedures. Development of broadband linear ultrasonic transmitter output stages for high output voltages and high frequencies. Low-noise ultrasonic receivers with variable amplification and subsequent FPGA pre-processing of the signals. Electronics and signal processing for ultrasonic Doppler devices.
• Development of portable, ultra-lightweight devices for the derivation, processing and long-term monitoring of bioelectric signals, low-power design with wireless data transmission or local data storage.
• Precise, ultrasound-based position transducers for medical applications: As an alternative to optical systems, ultrasound can provide a cost-effective solution.
• Holistic assessment of concepts for medical devices, including analog/digital, power supply/safety, physical constraints/technical feasibility, manufacturability/costs, etc. Benefit from our experience in system technology.
